@RusEmbMalta: 💬🇷🇺Comment by the Ambassador of Russia to Malta Andrey Lopukhov on Peter Leonard’s article (Times of Malta, 8 November 2025) The comment was also submitted to the editorial office of Times of Malta. Key points: 🔷 If anyone disputes that the events of February 2014 in Ukraine constituted a coup d’état, they shouldpresent evidence rather than rely on emotional but unfounded statements. 🔷Public statements by V.Zelensky contributed to the radicalisation of discourse and the escalation of hostility, including: – remarks rejecting any possibility of dialogue; – approval of coercive actions against his own citizens. 🔷Zelensky’s Jewish origin cannot serve as an “excuse” for the policies of his neo-Nazi regime, since the ideology and practices of a government are defined not by the ethnicity of its leader, but by its decisions, actions and the support it provides to radical nationalist groups. 🔷 Any accusations directed at Russia must be based on verifiable facts rather than rhetoric, labels or political emotion. 🔷The historical context of the Ukrainian crisis cannot be ignored: the events of 2014, discriminatory policies toward Russian-speaking populations and the rise of nationalist groups are essential elements of the overall picture. 🔷Russia remains open to an honest, fact-based discussion – provided it is grounded in verifiable evidence and transparent analysis.
